8 Local-Inspired Meals to Feed the Singaporean in You!

8 Local-Inspired Meals to Feed the Singaporean in You!

written by Emerline Su August 6, 2018

Celebrate National Day in a truly Singaporean way: by eating! There’s nothing that brings the country together like our unique food, so loosen your belt and showcase your Singaporean appetite with these meals that capture what we love most about Singapore.

1. Urbana Rooftop Bar

Urbana Rooftop Bar ViewUrbana Rooftop Bar Cocktails

Have a bit of fun this National Day and treat yourself to some tipples and bar bites at Urbana Rooftop Bar. Boasting fine wines, signature cocktails, and a beautiful view that stretches all the way to Marina Bay, it’s a great place for a patriotic party. Your favourite hawker center supper of satay and Milo gets a boozy, classy upgrade here too!

The signature Pork and Pineapple Satay is everything we look for in a satay and more. Chunks of tender, juicy pork melt satisfyingly away from the stick, carrying hints of smoky char, while the pineapple provides bursts of sweetness. It also goes perfectly with the Chocoloco, a smooth, creamy, chocolatey cocktail. Made with Baileys, chocolate syrup, and vodka then topped with Milo powder, it’s inspired by none other than our childhood favourite Milo Dinosaur.

Find it at 99 Irrawaddy Road, Level 33, Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena, Singapore 329568.

2. Sky22Sky22 Tiger Prawn Laksa LemakSky22 Singapore Chilli Crab Pizza

Well, maybe satay and cocktails aren’t quite enough for a properly filling dinner. In that case, you can always count on Sky22, with its menu of Singaporean foods made indulgent with premium ingredients, for a hearty meal of local favourites. It’s in the same building as Urbana Rooftop Bar too, so you can always head upstairs for post-dinner drinks and a spot of supper!

Make sure you’re prepared for some heat, because both their signature items pack quite a punch! Slurp up a generous bowl of Tiger Prawn Laksa Lemak, topped with quail eggs, fishcakes, and huge, sweet tiger prawns. The coconut gravy is a masterpiece, balancing the spiciness with its creamy texture and fragrance. And of course, the Chilli Crab Pizza, with generous chunks of crab and lots of chilli, is far too tempting to resist.

Once you have kids, National Day celebrations become a family affair. Still, that doesn’t mean staying home and watching Channel 5 broadcasts of the parade. Head down to Caffe Fernet for their National Day menu, featuring delicious family-style Italian eats sporting local touches.

The Atlantic Lobster & Prawn Ravioli, with its laksa leaf and chilli, looks a lot like an Italian rendition of laksa. As for meats, there’s a Beef Short Rib Rendang to quell those curry cravings. End your dinner with an array of local-inspired sweets, while the magnificent fireworks colour the night sky.

Find it at 70 Collyer Quay, #01-05, Customs House, Singapore 049323.

5. Dian Xiao Er

Chilli Soft Shell Crab

Love our iconic Chilli Crab, but just can’t get the hang of digging the meat out of the shell? The solution to your problem lies in Dian Xiao Er.

Enter the Chilli Soft Shell Crab! A fried soft shell crab drenched in a fragrant chilli crab sauce and served with fluffy mantou, it’s an innovative (and much more convenient) version of the Chilli Crab.

Bella Pizza National Day

Here’s your chance to show how much you love Singapore by eating our flag! Well, it’s not really our flag – just a half-and-half pizza that looks like the flag. Bella Pizza, a lively pizzeria on the shores of the Singapore River, is just what you need to dye your dinner a patriotic red and white.

The red half is a tangy, punchy tomato base pizza, with salami, fresh tomatoes, and ricotta on top. In contrast, the white half is creamier and more subtle, featuring a cheese sauce with egg, mascarpone, and black truffle.

Find it at 30 Robertson Quay, #01-14, Riverside View, Singapore 238251.
